Changing lighting
& skies in post-production.

Skies are one of the most important elements in any visual. They set the tone and scene, breathing life and athmosphere into your creations. HDRIs in 3D can be really hard to set and match and postproduction offers incredible flexibility

Overview.

Take a journey through the virtual pen and pencil of Pedro, as he aims out to show the extreme flexibility in changing out skies, whilst also showing you a few key elements in how these should match the rest of your image. Matching 2D elements with the 3D renders. One of Arqui9s most important tutorials, as skies have always been one of the major elements in setting a unique tone and spirit to an image. With the PSD file you will be able to see how some of the lighting effects of our Arqui9 images are created.
